The last shot was of the pair landing. Once they landed, everything was fine until another pair of geese landed nearby. The top two pictures are of a goose from the first pair attacking and chasing the second pair.

Canada Geese are prevalent in the Midwest and can be found here all year round.

If you click on the images, you will be taken to my Flickr site where you can view the photos in multiple sizes. The large sizes of the top two photos show the water droplets as they fall from the Goose’s tail.

Males and females look similar.
